I am a newbie at atari 2600 programming!!! I need help getting the right tia timing and how a tv scanline works and how to count cycles with the tia and tv scanlines. Also I need help for me to understand Atari 2600 opcodes.

Thanks for your help!!!!!

Why don't you just read some of Andrew's newbie programming lessons? :?

But...that would require work, right? :(

@bluetriforce
Also look into books for beginners about programming in 6502. You can find some excellent ones online at http://www.atariarchives.org/

I'm afraid you need to be a lot more specific. You've essentially just said the equivalent of:

"I'm trying to learn to speak English. I need help getting the grammar right and how to select the correct verbs. Also I need help with my vocabulary"

That's way too vague a request for anyone to help you. If you can post specific questions or problems people will be more than happy to lend a hand.
